Crypto Needs 'Better Decentralized Stablecoins', Says Ethereum Founder Vitalik Buterin

Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin has warned that today’s decentralized stablecoins are not resilient enough to support crypto’s long‑term vision, arguing that the industry needs new designs that are less dependent on the U.S. dollar and less vulnerable to capture by wealthy actors. In an X post on Sunday, Buterin said existing models suffer from three core flaws, namely reliance on a single fiat price reference, oracle systems that can be manipulated by large pools of capital, and staking yie...

From Tether to the Trump-Backed USD1: The 7 Fastest-Moving Stablecoins of 2025

Crypto Is Now Central to Venezuela’s Economy—And Poses Sanctions Risks: TRM

New research suggests Venezuela has become increasingly dependent on crypto as the United States and its allies escalate a push for regime change in the isolated nation. Nearly a decade of economic isolation, aggressive international sanctions, and economic collapse have made crypto tokens—particulary, Tether’s USDT stablecoin—central to the everyday life of Venezuelans, according to a new report from TRM Labs. The report also underscores how Venezuela’s largely unregulated crypto economy has po...

Credit ratings provider S&P Global said Wednesday that USDT could become "undercollateralized" if the assets backing the industry-leading stablecoin decline in value.
